DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2020.134833
Abstract: The Dystrophin Glycoprotein Complex (DGC) is a large multi-protein complex that links cytoskeleton actin to the extracellular matrix. This complex is critical in maintaining the structural integrity of muscle fibers and the stability of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1042/bsr20211930
Abstract: Abstract Lassa virus (LASV), an arenavirus endemic to West Africa, causes Lassa fever—a lethal hemorrhagic fever. Entry of LASV into the host cell is mediated by the glycoprotein complex (GPC), which is the only protein… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddac041
Abstract: α-syntrophin (α-syn) and α-dystrobrevin (α-dbn), two components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, are essential for the maturation and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and mice deficient in either α-syn or α-dbn exhibit similar synaptic defects.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13023-019-1242-y
Abstract: Dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC)-related muscular dystrophies may present similar clinical and pathological features as well as undetectable mutations thus being sometimes difficult to distinguish. We investigated the value of muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the… read more here.
